JB11: cool yule!

this week's JINGLE BELLES prompt is the suggestion of miss leslie aka the crooked stamper. it's a non-traditional color palette that i like A LOT...so much so, that i think you'll be seeing these colors again in both holiday and non-holiday contexts!



she saw this amazing room re-do (which kinda makes me drool, actually!) at the lettered cottage and thought, "let's make xmas cards!" so we did. you can see leslie's and stef's cards at JINGLE BELLES...it is worth the trip to do so, i assure you! you can see my card here, right under the fabulous sketch i used; a sketch which i would like to *CREDIT* of course, but sadly, being an idiot, i didn't bookmark whence it came, and the source info is not on the sketch or in the .png file name (it's just called "february challenge sketch") so if you recognize it, give me a shout, ok?



please excuse the oddly angled photo below, but after spending more time trying to capture this image without glare, reflections, or those big UFO-lookin' balls of light than i originally spent making my card...i gave it up as a bad job and settled for "wonky but accurate". i assure you that in person, it's quite a cool card, and you're all invited round to see it, ok?! :)

(patterned paper: the paper co, basic grey, pink paislee, webster's pages, hambly; kraft cardstock: hobby lobby (thanks, stef!); transparency: hambly; tag: my mind's eye; bling: oriental trading co; glitter letters: making memories; tree die: sizzix; edge punches: ek success, recollections, martha stewart; ink: colorbox; adhesives: tombow monorunner, 3m foam tape, sewing machine)

this concludes my card description for today, i hope you enjoyed it and that you'll be inspired to head on over to JINGLE BELLES and link up your own kraft, white and pale blue xmas masterpiece between now and next wednesday (3-16)!!! ♥
